Three Explosive Devices Sent to Clintons, Obama and CNN Offices
Explosive devices were sent to former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as to CNN's offices in New York, sparking an intense investigation on Wednesday into whether a bomber is going after targets that have often been the subject of right-wing ire.
A law enforcement official said the three devices were similar to one found Monday at the home of George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist and liberal donor.
[...] The device sent to CNN was contained in a manila envelope addressed to John Brennan, who was the C.I.A. director in the Obama administration and is a harsh critic of Mr. Trump. The president revoked Mr. Brennan's security clearance in what was seen as an act of retribution. The return address bore the name of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman who formerly headed the Democratic National Committee.
In a statement, the White House condemned "the attempted violent attacks."
Update 1: The explosive devices have been described as pipe bombs. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says that a device was also sent to his office.
Update 2:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's spokesman has identified the device sent to his office, originally believed to be suspicious, as a thumb drive containing files on the far right group Proud Boys. It does not appear to be related to the explosive devices.
[...] Another suspicious package has been intercepted at a Congressional mail screening facility in Capitol Heights, Maryland, according to CNN. [...] ABC News reported the package was addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat.

There should be a less cropped view of the close-up image floating around somewhere.

They deleted that tweet, the 2nd. tweet. Too bad! But, new tweet. That says, ISIS put their sticker on the CNN bomb. Put a sticker of ISIS Flag. Which, by the way, it's black but with some white in it -- like Obama. They put the sticker so everybody would know, that one came from ISIS. And possibly, they all came from ISIS. So interesting. So VERY SPECIAL. Obama & Crooked H started that one. Founded ISIS. And now it's looking like ISIS is sending bombs to them!!! twitter.com/PMBreakingNews/status/1055155700618485761 [twitter.com]
